    Emer1234 replied to Emer1234's topic in New York Nursing

    Greeneggs, as far as the GPA goes I think it has more to do with your load outside of the program than about the program itself. Some people just cannot stop working, some people have other things to...

    Owade, you seem to be freaking out. Lol the first thing you need to do is try to calm down and take the process one step at a time. I myself did not have any hospital experience other than working as...
